Numerous prospects with Syracuse basketball recruiting ties have scored top honors for their performances on Nike's EYBL circuit during that league's regular season.

The EYBL, starting this weekend, will hold its season-ending playoffs at the annual Peach Jam. Various Orange targets will compete in the main 17U division, vying for a title that Syracuse basketball incoming freshman Donnie Freeman, a five-star power forward from our nation's capital, claimed last July.

Ahead of Peach Jam, the experts at The Circuit, this week, handed out a bevy of awards for the top players during the EYBL's regular season, which ran from late April through late May amid four spring sessions.
